17 injured in Central Valley tour bus crash

A crash involving a tour bus and a semi-truck has left more than a dozen people injured in Tulare County early this morning.

The bus was on its way to Yakima, Washington from Los Angeles with stops along the way.

More than 30 people were on board the bus -- 16 of them suffered minor injuries. The driver of the semi-truck also suffered minor injuries. Nine people were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The CHP is investigating, but it appears the bus rear-ended the big-rig when the semi hit the brakes. Others on the bus who were not injured were transferred to another bus to continue their northbound trip.
